File transfer doesn’t work in both directions ### 2/5 — One-way communication *2026-04-15, version 0.4.3* I can send stuff from the Mac to my phone (Pixel 7 Pro) just fine, but cannot send it from my phone to the Mac. Bummer! ### 4/5 — Works, but the many photos issue again *2026-04-14, version 0.5.4* It works almost as intended but fails my main use-case: transferring many old pictures to Photos app while retaining their EXIF data. EXIF was retained but the timestamps were off. And there is no way in the Photos app itself to reset many timestamps to EXIF value at once. Therefore, I fall back to LocalSend which works perfectly for this matter and also have a convenient batch send implemented. ### 3/5 — No route to host *2026-04-10, version 0.5.4* Alway got no route to host when I move file from my pc to my phone ### 3/5 — Used to work *2026-04-04, version 0.5.4* Can no longer get it to pair any more. I'm guessing it's iOS changes causing this as it used to work very well. Loved the app as it made pc transfers so easy. ### 3/5 — Won’t connect discover anything! *2026-03-30, version 0.5.4* i’m running kde but unfortunately it won’t connect to my machine on the same network with no vpn and I even tried using bluetooth. none of it would show the other machine. also the “can’t find your devices here” button is perfectly behind the taskbar at the bottom on ios 26 ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-03-17, version 0.5.4* Despite not being complete, I appreciate the zero data retention policy and transparent roadmap regarding the current state of functionality for the app. Looking forward to a final release! ### 5/5 — Icon needs updating *2026-03-16, version 0.5.4* Very good although the icon needs a redesign (I know there is an alternative within the settings of the app but is still not good ans modern). ### 4/5 — Funktion ist super kleine Details stören *2026-03-09, version 0.5.4* Macht alles was es soll, einziger Störfaktor ist das es nicht im Hintergrund läuft. Sobald die ab verlassen wird oder der Bildschirm gesperrt ist bricht die Verbindung ab. ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-02-28, version 0.5.4* Excellent app, a bit less feature than the android counterpart but that's Apple doing Apple things ### 2/5 — Remote Input has an annoying buffering *2026-02-22, version 0.5.4* I cannot use the cursor without waiting a little until it starts moving. ### 5/5 — Linux 10/10 / Windows 7/10 *2026-02-17, version 0.5.4* Auf Linux funktioniert es fehler frei auf windows weniger. Ist aber kein Problem da ich kein Windows mehr benutze und benutzen werde. Danke an KDE ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nothing is working *2026-06-26, version 0.5.5* I have tried refreshing, adding by ip address, reinstalling multiple times. Nothing is working. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-05, version 0.4.3* Doesn’t do anything ### 1/5 — Should be removed from the AppStore *2026-06-05, version 0.5.5* Totally useless, doesn’t do anything, find or connect to anything. Doesn’t belong to the Apple ecosystem ### 1/5 — Bloatware *2026-05-15, version 0.4.3* Does absolutely nothing ### 1/5 — no route to host error plagues this app *2026-04-11, version 0.5.4* sucks ### 1/5 — Unusable in latest iOS update on iPhone 11 *2026-02-25, version 0.5.4* The „Can‘t find device?“ button is overlayed by the button UI, rendering the app unusable for me. ### 1/5 — Push local clipboard broken *2026-02-17, version 0.5.4* The most useful feature is broken and doesn’t even give any indication that it’s failing to push the local clipboard. Every other feature works just fine. ### 1/5 — Won’t work on iPhone 13 *2026-02-01, version 0.5.4* When I go to use the app, the button that lets you search for your pc is covered by the files and settings buttons. I can’t hit the button to search for my PC to even connect the app. I mean it is literally perfectly covered. To the point it feels like someone made it that way intentionally to mess with me. I know that irrational but it’s too perfectly placed ### 1/5 — nao pede acesso a fotos *2026-01-25, version 0.5.4* no ios26 nao adicionaram a requisicao para acesso as fotos, entao quando tento enviar qualquer arquivo da “trasferencia falhou” por causa de uma simples requisição, tive que compilar eu mesmo o app e instalar como desenvolvedor para funcionar ### 1/5 — Non-working PoC *2026-01-07, version 0.4.3* This is what happens when you start a project and don’t finish it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New Feature *2026-08-04, version 0.5.5* Expose Shortcuts to IOS,so that could create a shortcut in iPhone Home Screen to lock/unlock Kubuntu screen ### 5/5 — I Love the Plasma Devs *2026-07-31, version 0.5.5* Obviously it’s annoying that there’s no SMS forwarding or screen mirroring, but that’s what you get for being in Apple’s walled garden 🤷‍♀️ ### 5/5 — WOW. *2026-07-25, version 0.5.5* just worked fantastic with no setup. I love KDE ❤️ ### 5/5 — Works great *2026-07-01, version 0.5.5* Had issues while using windows, but I switched to cacheos and everything just works ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-06-04, version 0.5.5* This app is amazing ### 5/5 — Everyone here is a nerd, huh. *2026-06-04, version 0.5.5* Love fedora linux 🫰 ### 5/5 — insane *2026-04-09, version 0.5.4* a phone-pc sync that actually works with ios is genuinely amazing, microsoft could never ### 5/5 — SO GOOD *2026-03-30, version 0.5.4* I love it so much because it’s so easy to connect to my PC and because there’s features to make everything more easy ### 5/5 — Działa świetnie na KDE neon *2026-03-24, version 0.5.4* Jest to świetna linuxowa alternatywa dla łączę do Windows mi działa świetnie używam najnowszego KDE neon z Plasma 6.3.3 ### 5/5 — Kool *2026-03-21, version 0.5.4* Works flawlessly, nice UI... Just "Kool" ;> --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
